The author has created several useful parcel searching tools in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) using ArcObjects. This article gives detailed descriptions of tools illustrated by the required code. Any ArcGIS Desktop user, with an ArcInfo, ArcEditor, or ArcView license, can use this code to easily create the same tools. The sample map document containing these tools and sample data to run them are available from the ArcUser Online site. Story County, Iowa, has been using ArcInfo to create parcels since 1996. When ArcSDE was adopted in 2003, it became easier and more costeffective for county agencies to share base data on parcels, roads, annotations, water bodies, andzoning data.
